      @olivierdroid92 See my OP. I did that. There are no roms in the folder. It still shows up.

        Figured it out. There's a setting for hiding preinstalled roms. Enable that and all those systems will vanish.

          Hi Guybrush3pwood, what did you do to fix this exactly? I have been trying to hide unwanted systems for the past week with no luck. I've read all the posts regarding this issue, none help me.

          I have no roms in the ROMS folder to delete, and yet the systems are showing in the menu, and also have the pre-installed games that actually work. Where are these roms coming from? Thanks.

            I just found that there are two locations for the ROMS,

            1. /recalbox/share/roms/<systems>

            and

            1. /recalbox/share_init/roms/<systems>

            So I found where the roms are stored, the question now is how do I delete these unwanted roms? I am using WinSPC to connect to the Recalbox, when I try to delete the roms from /recalbox/share_init/roms/<systems> folder I get the following error message.

            The file is on read-only media, or the media is write protected.
            Error code: 12
            Error message from server (en): Read-only file system

            How do I remove the read only attribute?

              You can remount your system as read/write with this command:

              mount -o remount,rw /

                  @sammyvee I wouldn't recommend to modify anything in the read-only system. Next update will reset all the system.

                    Unless Im missing something or miss understand your problem, you just select the hide pre installed roms / games option, restart Recalbox, job done.

                    I use this so the "Ports" system doesn't appear on the list of systems available, although if I look on the drive, the folder is still there.

                      @rustymg I understood his problem this way, he want not all pre installed games to be hide, only a few ones. and when he use the "Hide" function in the Recalbox Options all of the games are hidden.

                      Or iam totaly wrong, and he do not knew that he can use the "hide" function from the Menu 😁

                        @rollbrett That is correct. I wanted to only hide some systems and thought the only way to do this is to delete the roms in the system folders I did not want.

                        Thanks to all for helping me out.
